http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp15 ... _648px.jpgTis the season... for ROBO GIVEAWAYS! We usually utilize the holidays to make some kinda special offer, and this year we're giving away free Robo LPs and/or CDs to all orders over 50 bucks. The quick n' dirty is that if you order $50+ worth of stuff, we'll toss in 1 free Robotic Empire label-release LP, or 2 free Robotic Empire label-release CDs of YOUR choice. Order $100+ and we double the giveaway... etc. We're feeling pretty festive too, so list alternatives and maybe you'll get additional bonus stuff if your order is rad

The lists of free stuff available can be found here: LPs / 10"s / 10"+CDs / 9"+CDs / CDs / CDeps*Other label stuff elsewhere on the site (CD lots / box sets / 2xLPs / etc) do not count for this offer*

Just list the item(s) you're requesting in the "notes" section at checkout and we'll do our best to accommodate! Giveaway thing stops at the end of the year.

This would also be a good time to mention CHRISTMAS ORDERS NEED TO BE IN BEFORE DECEMBER 10th! The entire mail system goes insaneo this time of year and in order to make sure your/your loved ones' stuff arrives in time PLEASE get orders in before December 10th and use UPS shipping. Anything otherwise/afterwards is not guaranteed to arrive in time for XXXmas, although we will be working throughout the entire holiday season.

However, we anticipate spending far more time packing+shipping this month as opposed to emailing, so please don't write asking about your order's status. Rest assured we're busting ass full steam and will get orders out as quickly as possible. No rest for the wicked!

On that sentiment, we've just gotten in another round of gnarly new releases & restocks. New jammers include BLACK TUSK's Relapse debut full-length (also check out the killer super limited tour-only LP of their first album)... also from Relapse is the mighty COUGH album Ritual Abuse on 2xLP. We blew through the Richmond heathens' split w/ THE WOUNDED KINGS (and are expecting a restock later this week), so be sure to check out this slow monster of a sophomore album! The reinvigorated HOLY MOUNTAIN showed up again via Euro imports, plus a STARKWEATHER / OVERMARS import split LP, crazy TRAP THEM tape and some other dern good stuff. Restocked CORRUPTED, GEHENNA, PYGMY LUSH, YEAR OF NO LIGHT and some others as well. We’ve also got our first independent movie release up for sale just in time for the holidays. From our hometown of Richmond, VA prepare yourself for THE TAINT!

Pretty good round of stuff there to keep us busy through the end of another year. Big ups (HUGE ups, really) to everyone who's supported us this year and/or the ones prior. Its hard to be a small business in this day and age, and to everyone who's helping keep bread in our ovens: we heartily salute you. Jah bless, everyone!

Years ago, our Richmond-based friend (and awesome artist) Ryan McLennan designed an t-shirt image for us with two bears tearing apart a robot dear, which went on to become one of the most popular label-shirts we've made to date. Now, almost exactly 4 years later we've finally printed up the "sequel" to that shirt.

Illustrated at roughly the same time but only just now finally put to print, we've got a "new/old" Ryan McLennan Robotic Empire t-shirt design, and are pretty damn stoked with the results. What's shown here is a mockup of the actual print (photo coming soon) but we've printed this new one in the same color scheme as the first, but with this time a big ass MOOSE smashing apart a robot bear. You can [url=http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp152/roboticempire/mclennan_shirt2-600px.jpg[/img]click here[/url] for a slightly bigger mockup, and this is available now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store.

In addition to that new/old design, we've also re-printed some other crucial label-related shirts including CANNABIS CORPSE, PG.99 and THOU. Along with those we've also nabbed a few new releases and other stuff, including the new ANb / ANS split 5", terrifying BODYCOP tape, GREYMACHINE debut 2xLP on color wax and some other gnarly jammers. Also back in stock is the Cough / Wounded Kings split 12” we sold out of in a hurry last week! Here's the full list:

That's it update-wise but also heads up: LAST CHANCE TO DANCE on holiday orders. We're completely swamped as hell right now and won't be able to guarantee anything aside of UPS-ground shipping AND ordered by the 10th from here on out. If you order via any other method and/OR after December 10th, no promises on it arriving in time for Xmas. We'll still be working n' busting ass non-stop through the entire holidays, but keep in mind the whole postal system and everything goes haywire this time of year, so get in any Xmas orders RIGHT NOW if you definitely need em in time!! THANK YOU!
